An anion double-walled metal-organic framework [CoLi(BTC)(DMF)(HO)·(CH)N] () based on heterobimetallic Li and Co ions was successfully constructed. Utilizing selective destruction and formation of Co-O/Co-N bonds in the metal chains, [CoLi(BTC)(py)(HO)·(CH)N] () and [CoLi(BTC)(pi)(HO)·(CH)N] () with the same skeleton but distinct pore structures can be surprisingly obtained. Additionally, compounds and can be transformed into [CoLi(BTC)(HO)·(CH)N] () by soaking them in an ethanol solution. This kind of single-crystal-to-single-crystal transformation successfully regulates the pore structure of MOFs and enriches the diversity of the pore wall on the premise of retaining the original framework. Most impressively, compound shows high adsorption capacity for Cs cations and is a good candidate to selectively accommodate Cs among the common alkali metal ions, which is future identified by single-crystal X-ray diffraction and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) test. Meanwhile, compound can selectively adsorb methylene blue (MB) and crystal violet (CV) molecules over Rhodamine B (RMB).

The assembly of metal-organic cages is governed by metal ion coordination preferences and the geometries of the typically rigid and planar precursor ligands. PdL cages are among the most structurally diverse, with subtle differences in the metal-ligand coordination vectors resulting in drastically different assemblies, however almost all rely on rigid aromatic linkers to avoid the formation of intractable mixtures. Here we exploit the inverse electron-demand Diels-Alder (IEDDA) reaction between tetrazine linker groups and alkene reagents to trigger structural changes induced by post-assembly modification.

Constructing effective and robust biocatalysts with carbonic anhydrase (CA)-mimetic activities offers an alternative and promising pathway for diverse CO-related catalytic applications. However, there is very limited success has been achieved in controllably synthesizing CA-mimetic biocatalysts. Here, inspired by the 3D coordination environments of CAs, this study reports on the design of an ultrafast ZnN-OH center via tuning the 3D coordination structures and mesoporous defects in a zinc-dipyrazolate framework to serve as new, efficient, and robust CA-mimetic biocatalysts (CABs) to catalyze the hydration reactions.
